The fifth song off the album “Cities”
This song is about those people who do not see how truly amazing they really are, they seem to give up before they see what life is about to show them. (Exodus 17).
[Verse 1]
Your motive, unstable
You're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed
Just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed, you've seemed to ignore
The prayers that have already come about
[Chorus]
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
[Verse 2]
Backing away from the problem of pain
You never had a home
You've been misguided, you're hiding in shadows for so very long
Don't you believe that you've been deceived
That you're no better than
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised
What you're really thinking of
[Chorus]
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
[Bridge]
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marked your heart
You're so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don't soon forget (Between salvation and love, don't drop your arms)
You're so brilliant (I'll guard your heart)
Grace marked your heart (With quiet words I'll lead you in and out of the dark)
Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
(Don't drop your arms)
Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
[Chorus]
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
(Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
(Lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in
